Far north of Samara. Mount Tip-Tyav and the village of Krasnaya Glinka, Samara Ski Krasnaya Glinka

I am writing from memory, so much remains unnoticed.

It was decided to make the first foray out of the house in early spring, when there was still snow in the forest and the paths looked like a mess of earth, sand, and clay. Like a true Samaran who had not seen the beauty of his native city, the direction of the route was towards the Zhiguli Mountains. The same mountains about which so many legends and tales are written. Before the trip, I re-read a lot of information, looked through many maps in search of the very place where it would be interesting. The result is of course not very good. There is clearly not enough knowledge. Just the desire to find, see, visit. Having read possible sources about the mining business, a list was compiled of what was necessary for a small, but still, journey. And even though only a camera and provisions were taken from the list, this almost interfered with our journey. On a sunny day, at about 10 o’clock, we started in the direction of red clay.

Our road ran through Krasnaya Glinka, past the ski resort with its cable car, to the electrical substation. There, leaving the car, we rushed up the road cut down under the power lines.

The path up the mountain is difficult. The road is rocky and no, no, but it disappears under your feet, beckoning you down.

An interesting rocky slope right next to the descent, along the ATV path.

Unfortunately, the tool for a closer study was not taken and the trip was reduced to searching for interesting places in anticipation of future visits.

Next, our route ran through a beautiful place on the banks of the Volga with a view of the Zhiguli Mountains. As a novice prospector, I wanted to find traces of at least something on the rocky shore, but as I now understand, I broke my lip VERY EARLY. Without the slightest idea of where to look for something, how to look, or what something looks like in nature, it is almost impossible to find anything worthwhile. The beach turned out to be far from pebble, and I so hoped that it would turn out to be so, because I read a bunch of sources about the search. But there was a camera and here is a photo report of the visit to the banks of the Volga.

The view is breathtaking, although you can't tell from the photo. There is a lack of smells, strong winds, cool sun, the sound of the surf and a little fear of the power of the river, sharpening and grinding the hardest rocks into dust.

On the other side of the road. Beautiful places for fishing and recreation, which local citizens did not take advantage of, not afraid of the still cool air and slightly swampy area from the melting snow.

I will undoubtedly return to these places. They are very attractive with their beauty.

We were greeted by an amazing hill with a Cross at the very top with the proud name “Tsarev Kurgan”

We drive past and turn right into the village. Then we wind our way and try to get closer to the water. Several streets lead to dead ends, but we stubbornly follow the intended route. I really wanted to explore the banks of local rivers in the hope of finding a pebble beach or rocky shores. But the melting of the snow did its job and hid even hints of what was sought.

The shoreline is in the water, only reeds and snow. Well, if the opportunity arises, we will come again when the water subsides. I was interested in the coniferous forest that can be seen in the distance in the photo. Hilly and mountainous terrain and forest. There must be streams. And where there are streams there is search without digging mines and pickaxes. But we’ll return to the forest later, when the warm weather settles and the soil warms up. And standing at this place, another stopping point ripened; it was worth turning to the water and looking into the distance, where at the foot of those mountains that we climbed at the very beginning, there was a quarry for the extraction of construction minerals.

It was decided to visit it on the way back, especially since the weather was pushing us with its winds and coolness. After walking along the embankment for another 500 meters, we returned to the car and set off on the way back.

An incomprehensible structure of unknown purpose. It looks very old and half destroyed. Although it may be a wrong assumption.

Well, the rock masses coming to the surface, unfortunately hidden behind the trees. If the opportunity arises, we will definitely come here again, but with a tool for a more detailed study of the breed.

With this, our journey has come to an end. First day, first outing and first impressions. It was decided to continue a new hobby, which gradually began to develop into something more than just a hobby. Forward to the unknown!

The distance from Moscow to the village of Krasnaya Glinka is 1043 km. Information about the distance was obtained by plotting a route along highways. It is important to know the number of kilometers to calculate travel time and estimate travel costs. Thus, according to the map, the length of the road from Moscow to the village of Krasnaya Glinka is 1043 km. Using the average vehicle speed and the calculated mileage, we find that the approximate travel time will be 17 hours 23 minutes. Also, based on the number of kilometers and the current price of gasoline, you can calculate the cost of the trip and stock up on the required amount of fuel. When traveling long distances, determine in advance at which kilometer of the route you will make rest stops. Our map will help you find the shortest route from Moscow to Krasnaya Glinka village, which will reduce your costs and eliminate unnecessary travel time. The thick line indicates the path you have chosen. Sometimes it is interesting to know the number of kilometers traveled in other units of measurement: 1043 km. km = 648.09 miles. The "Print version" function allows you to print a map from Moscow to the village of Krasnaya Glinka.

If you are planning a long-distance trip, you should remember a few simple but important rules: - carefully prepare your car for a long trip: check the level of engine oil, coolant, windshield washer fluid, make sure all lighting, etc. are functioning properly. - check the tire pressure. It is very important that it matches the pressure recommended for your vehicle. - prepare a spare tire and a tow rope - no one is immune from a tire puncture or breakdown on the highway, you should foresee possible troubles in advance and avoid them. - choose roads with high-quality surfaces - this will extend the life of your “iron horse” and save your nerves. When preparing for a trip, think through everything to the smallest detail so that the trip leaves pleasant memories and not a headache.

Where the city practically “ends”, tourist routes and winter sports activities begin. Today we will talk about the village of Krasnaya Glinka.

This area got its name because of the layers of red clay that lay here. And its history began even before the revolution. After the Stolypin reform, long-term lease of land for summer cottages began here. By 1908, there were only three of them here, but gradually their number increased. A little later, these places were chosen by revolutionaries. For example, in 1916 the Samara City Conference of the RSDLP(b) was held here. For some time, these rallies on Krasnaya Glinka were reminded by the monument “In honor of the Samara Bolshevik Underground Workers,” opened in 1977 near the EMO houses. In the 90s, the monument was “dismantled” by non-ferrous metal lovers and now only the foundation reminds of it.

By 1925, the village of Krasnaya Glinka consisted of 200 households. And who knows how his life would have developed if not for the project to build the Kuibyshev hydroelectric power station in the Zhigulevsky Gate area.

As you know, he also gave birth to the village of Upravlencheskiy, in which the builders of the future hydroelectric complex were supposed to live (you can find out more about its history).
The construction was supposed to be, without exaggeration, grandiose and, as was customary then, it was supposed to be served by the ITL (corrective labor camp), which was created in Samara in 1937 and was called SamLag. In terms of the number of contingents, it was among the leaders, occupying an honorable 8th place out of 42 camps in the NKVD system.

Samlagov residents began construction of the Bezymyanskaya Thermal Power Plant, built a cement and brick factories, and left a railway line connecting the village with Bezymyanka as a legacy to Krasnaya Glinka. But even more important was the construction here in 1938 of workshops for the repair of construction equipment of the Kuibyshev hydroelectric station. These were three wooden barracks, which housed a mechanical, foundry and forge shop. And it was with them that the history of that Red Glinka began, which we can see today. But first things first.

In 1940, repair shops were transferred to the control of the NKVD Osobstroy. The idea of building a hydroelectric power station on this site was abandoned; all efforts were devoted to the construction of defense enterprises, primarily aircraft factories. SamLag was replaced by the even more densely populated Bezymyanlag, which was based mainly on Bezymyanka. But some of its “parts” surrounded Samara in a dense ring and were also present on Krasnaya Glinka. A disabled town and a central infirmary for prisoners were built here. Here, in the Oryol ravine, there was a particularly strict regime camp where re-convicts were kept, and the living conditions in which were especially difficult.

The captured Germans did not bypass Krasnaya Glinka either. Moreover, the first of them to arrive on Samara soil were planned to be placed here and their labor used to develop stone quarries. However, apparently considering that the prisoners of war could not withstand such hard work, and even in winter, it was decided to send most of them to Kryazh, for the construction of the oil refinery.

In July 1943, on the basis of the above-mentioned repair shops, which with the beginning of the war were repurposed for the defense industry, Plant No. 4 of the NKVD Logistics and Technical Supply Directorate was organized. By the end of the Great Patriotic War, it was already a full-fledged, dynamically developing machine-building plant, later named, in 1958, “Electroshield”. Residential areas began to be built around it. Since then, the village of Krasnaya Glinka began to take on its usual appearance.

In 1953, a cultural center was built in the village, called “Iskra”. Since then, this Krasnoglinsky center of culture has not gone out, and according to the aspirations of the still thriving Electroshield plant, it is in excellent condition and, what is important, is used for its intended purpose.

Next after the cultural cluster, the sports cluster was brought into proper shape. In the 1950s, the Energy Stadium was built. His condition at the moment can be considered quite satisfactory, especially against the backdrop of the numerous Samara sports arenas that have died.

Speaking about sports, one cannot fail to mention the Sok ski complex. This place attracts lovers of alpine skiing and snowboarding, having almost no competitors in the vicinity of Samara. The recently opened one is also located on Krasnaya Glinka.

The 1950s also saw the appearance on Krasnaya Glinka of the most famous monument of those places - the sculptural composition “Happy Family”, located on Krasnoglinskoye Highway, right near the entrance to the village.

The second attraction of the village is hidden from prying eyes under the Falcon Mountains. This is the famous “Refrigerator”, built to store an emergency supply of food in case of war. He himself and the system of Soka adits as a whole have haunted cryptohistorians and thrill-seekers for many years. The latter investigate them, sometimes with lethal results. According to rumors, the construction of this underground city began with the blessing and on the orders of Koba back in 1933, and the total length of the Sok adits is almost 45 kilometers.

But let’s return directly to the “Refrigerator”. Its construction began in 1958 and lasted for several years due to the technological complexity of the task.

The finest hour of the “Refrigerator” came in 1962, when the specter of the Third World War drove entire trains with food here, of which it could hold almost 26 thousand tons.

Another “attraction” of Krasnaya Glinka can be recognized as the Pepsi-Cola plant, which settled on the Volga bank almost simultaneously with its sworn enemy Coca-Cola. Both “software” enterprises released their first products here in 1997, but Pepsi was still a couple of months earlier.

The village of Krasnaya Glinka itself has several appendages, such as the village of Yuzhny and the EMO Houses. The latter, by the way, has nothing to do with the “fangs” subculture - EMO stands for “electrical installation department.” This area itself consists of six two-story barracks, which were supposed to serve as temporary housing for workers in the very three workshops from which the Electroshield plant began. But there is nothing more permanent than temporary. The barracks still stand, and the area itself has the unofficial name “Limonia Country”. This seems to be due to the fact that the houses were originally painted bright yellow.

The main glory and fame of the residents of the city of Krasnaya Glinka to this day comes from its natural resources. Walk along Batayskaya Street, where right behind the nine-story buildings lies the “green sea of the taiga” and you can see Mount Tip-Tyav, so beloved by weekend tourists. A resident of Yungorodok, choking in smog, will, of course, envy such a favorable environmental situation. For which, however, you have to pay for the general distance from the city center and the absence of such signs of civilization as shopping centers, cinemas, etc.

We continue our acquaintance with the Samara region. Today we will visit the village of Krasnaya Glinka, which is part of Samara; We’ll climb Mount Tip-Tyav, part of the Sokoly Mountains massif, and admire the views of the Volga.

To the village of Krasnaya Glinka by public transport from different parts of the city of Samara there are buses and minibuses No. 50 (starts at the railway station), No. 1 (from the bus station), minibus No. 221 (Kirovskaya metro station), No. 45 (a/c Aurora ). From the railway The distance from the station to Krasnaya Glinka is about 30 kilometers, the journey will take about 1.5 - 2 hours.
Buses arrive at the Krasnaya Glinka bus station, next to which the temple of Alexy, the Moscow Metropolitan, the heavenly patron of Samara, is being built.

The village of Krasnaya Glinka.

The village is part of Samara and is part of the Krasnoglinsky district of the city. There is absolutely nothing to do or see in the village itself. The basis of the village is made up of five-story buildings from the Khrushchev era, of which there are a dime a dozen in every city. Therefore, I recommend immediately climbing the local mountain Tip-Tyav, from where you can explore the entire village at once and the surrounding area.

From the bus station you need to walk along the stadium, and then turn left into a five-story residential area, from where you go through the garages onto well-trodden paths. On the way up the mountain, among the garages, I warn you in advance, there are large garbage dumps. This unpleasant moment must be endured, because later on the mountain itself (I promise) you will receive great pleasure from what you see (from a positive point of view).

Mount Tip-Tyav and Zhigulevsky Gate.

I’ll tell you a beautiful tale about the emergence of the Zhiguli Gate and how the name of the local mountain Tip-Tyav came about.
A long time ago, two brothers lived in these places and did not bother themselves: Sokol and Zhigul. Everything was fine, but they fell in love with one girl, Volga. The brothers stood in front of the beauty as a wall until she chose one of the brothers. The Volga could not do this, because it always loved the distant Caspian Sea and sought to escape to it. She waited for the right time, when the brothers and their guard dog fell asleep. The Volga broke through between the brothers and rushed to its lover. The brothers woke up, and the Volga was already far away. The brothers were petrified with grief, turning into mountains. And in the gorge between the mountains the echo of a barking dog could be heard for a long time: “Tip-Tyav”, which still did not understand what had happened and where its owners had gone.
Since then, the mountains that are on the right bank of the Volga are called Zhigulevsky, and on the left bank Sokolya. Mount Tip-Tyav is the largest mountain in the Sokoli Mountains, as well as Samara, its height is 282 meters.

The most beautiful views of Mount Tip-Tyav open from the Volga when you sail past on a boat. The mountain is very recognizable due to its rugged slope for limestone mining. You can sail past the mountain for modest money on a daily basis.

It's time to talk about the village of Krasnaya Glinka. The reason for its emergence was the desire of the Soviet authorities in the 30s of the 20th century to unite the two brothers Zhigul and Sokol by building a hydroelectric power station in the Zhigulevsky Gate. The distance between the banks here is the minimum on the middle Volga, about a kilometer. For the future hydroelectric power station, under the patronage of the NKVD, construction of a repair base began here. Prisoners had to serve it. Then the plans changed, as we know, the hydroelectric power station was built upstream, and the legacy of the future construction was the village of Krasnaya Glinka, as well as a repair base, which in 1959 was retrained into the Electroshield plant. “Electroshield” began producing substations and electrical equipment for the entire Soviet Union. As the plant develops, the village begins to grow. Now “Electroshield” occupies the main part of the village and is part of the French company (50% of shares), one of the world leaders in the field of electricity.

Next to the Electroshield buildings are the blue buildings of the Pepsi Corporation. The Pepsi plant in Samara opened in 1992 and since then, like Electroshield, has been one of the major employers in the Samara region.

Sanatorium “Krasnaya Glinka”, Samara.

Another establishment closely associated with the name Krasnaya Glinka. The Krasnaya Glinka sanatorium opened in 1942 after Kalinin sailed past these places on a ship nine years earlier. Initially, the sanatorium was built for members of the Central Committee, but then it became publicly accessible. You can't see it in the photo from the mountain; you need strong binoculars.
